Chapter 411: 220: Go to Rock Island.

Suo Lun was overjoyed at that moment, Sorcerer Yaomeng was truly remarkable. Once she took over, the Magic Mirror project immediately achieved a tremendous breakthrough.

And once these mirrors were mass-produced on a large scale, that would essentially open up a second huge source of wealth.

Right away, Suo Lun said joyfully, "Let’s go to the Secret Island Base."

Following that, Suo Lun furrowed his brow slightly and said, "Sister, where is Sword Master Bi Xiao?"

Because when Sword Master Bi Xiao was present, the entire City Lord’s mansion would be suppressed by a great momentum, which also served as a kind of deterrence.

"His sword pavilion has encountered trouble, Ashi Luo has been retaliating against him non-stop," Suo Ningbing said.

Suo Lun’s eyes turned cold; this persistent nuisance... He then wondered if this could be a tactic to draw the tiger away from the mountain, and if so, Suo Ningbing would be in danger.

Therefore, it became necessary to have Zhi Yan Princess enter the City Lord’s mansion, partly to treat her as the most honored guest and partly to protect Suo Ningbing.

However, by doing so, she might indeed meet Mrs. Yan Nai’er.

"Where is Nai’er?" Suo Lun asked.

"She went to inspect the four fortresses of the main city," Suo Ningbing said.

Suo Lun ordered, "Go to the guest house and invite the princess to the City Lord’s mansion."

"Yes!" a family Samurai said from outside.

Suo Ningbing was taken aback and said, "The princess has also come?"

Then, she immediately arranged for the servants to prepare everything inside the City Lord’s mansion and to receive the princess with all the proper etiquette.

"Go and invite Mrs. Yan Nai’er as well," said Suo Ningbing.

The Mrs. Yan Nai’er she mentioned, of course, referred to the City Lord’s Lady. By then, the entire City Lord’s mansion had come to consider Yan Nai’er the future mistress of the house, thanks to Suo Ningbing’s own efforts.

About half an hour later, Tianshui City Lord’s mansion received Zhi Yan Princess with almost the highest ceremony.

Yan Nai’er stood directly to the right of Suo Lun, appearing as his fiancée.

...

After receiving Zhi Yan Princess, Suo Lun took Ye Jingyu and Yan Nai’er to the eastern coast.

Once they reached the dock by the sea, they took a boat to the Secret Island Base.

The Secret Island Base was about three hundred li from Tianshui City, a very ordinary one among the many desolate islands around.

The island was roughly several tens of square kilometers in size and had forests on it.

The underground castle was still being expanded, but two underground laboratories had already been built.

There was nothing on the island, all food, meat, fruits, and vegetables had to be transported from Tianshui City.

Even water needed to be boiled and filtered before it could be drunk.

Upon arriving at the underground laboratory inside the island, there were already about a hundred Alchemists working under Sorcerer Yaomeng’s orders.

Seeing Suo Lun, Yaomeng’s mature and beautiful face immediately showed an excited glow as she said, "My lord, your idea is sheer genius. Your Magic Mirror will completely change the whole world."

Then, she led Suo Lun to the deepest room and brought out the first finished mirror.

Suo Lun first handed it to Nai’er and said, "Try looking at yourself, see how beautiful you are."

Nai’er’s cheeks immediately turned red, she then took it and glanced at her clear reflection in the mirror, which gave her such a shock that she could hardly believe it.

"This, this is clearer than the best crystal mirror," said Yan Nai’er.

In Suo Lun’s view, the clarity of the mirror was somewhat like a bathroom mirror that had been used for a long time and had a layer of dusty film over it.

But... this was after all a scientific revolution.

The clarity of this mirror had already outclassed the crystal mirrors of this world, not to mention the bronze ones.

Sorcerer Yaomeng said, "My lord, you will change the entire world. All women will go crazy for this mirror."

Suo Lun turned to Yan Nai’er and asked, "Nai’er, how much would you be willing to spend for this mirror?"

"I don’t know," Yan Nai’er said, "perhaps ten Gold Coins, or maybe dozens. Regardless, as long as I can buy it, I must have one."

Although Yan Nai’er was extremely beautiful, she wasn’t very vain. If it were someone like Gui Qinshao, she would buy it at any cost, no matter how expensive.

Suo Lun asked, "What is the current rate of finished products?"

Sorcerer Yaomeng replied, "Around one in fifty."

The rate of good products was indeed disastrously low, but even so, it still represented a terrifying profit margin.

"The main issue is achieving purity when making the glass; out of ten pieces, perhaps only one is acceptable," Sorcerer Yaomeng explained. "And when coating it with the ’mercury’ you mentioned, it’s very difficult to achieve complete evenness; perhaps only one out of five pieces meets the standard."

Then Sorcerer Yaomeng added, "However, just give me enough time, at most a few months, and I will be able to solve the quality rate issue for you. By then, the entire Tianshui City will be drowned in Gold Coins."

Suo Lun was completely convinced by this. When it came to mirrors, he could only offer an idea; in terms of expertise, he was far inferior to Yaomeng, let alone the Alchemists under her command.

"How many finished mirrors have we made so far?" Suo Lun inquired.

"About thirty-six," Sorcerer Yaomeng answered. "Of course, I will keep one for myself."

"Alright, then take the remaining thirty-five mirrors with me," Suo Lun said.

Ye Jingfeng quickly packed the thirty-five mirrors into a box and handed it to Ye Jingyu.

"Master, there is something important I need to discuss with you," Ye Jingfeng said in a low voice.

Suo Lun led her to a secluded corner and asked, "What’s the matter?"

Ye Jingfeng reported, "Recently, stranger ships have been frequently passing by our waters, occurring nearly every two or three days. Therefore, the supply ships from Tianshui City only dare to deliver supplies at night."
